Zitate und Sprüche von Dain Aetos

I can't lose you, Violet. I just... can't.

He's hot. He has that whole boy-next-door-who-can-still-kick-your-ass vibe going for him.

No one asked you to think, squad leader.

If determination had a physical form it would be Dain Aetos.

Violet Sorrengail: "Thank you for being my friend."
Liam Mairi: "It's been. My honor."

Killing you wouldn't be any trouble, Violence. It's leaving you alive that seems to cause the majority of my trouble.

Fascinating. You look all frail and breakable but you're really a violent little thing, aren't you?

Hope is a fickle, dangerous thing. It steals your focus and aims it toward the possibilities instead of keeping it where it belongs - on the probabilities.

Lust and logic never seem to go hand in hand.

I love you. I'm in love with you. I have been since the night the snow fell in your hair and you kissed me for the first time. I'm grateful my life is tied to yours because it means I won't have to face a day without you in it. My heart only beats as long as yours does, and when you die, I'll meet Malek at your side.

Coming in last is better than coming in dead.

I would rather lose this entire war than live without you, and if that means I have to prove myself over and over, then I'll do it. You gave me your heart, and I'm keeping it.

There is nothing more sacred than the Archives. Even temples can be rebuilt, but books cannot be rewritten.

And strength of courage is more important than physical strength.

I am the sky and the power of every storm that has ever been. I am infinite.

There is no me without you.

"I'd have to be a masochist to sleep with you, and I can assure I'm not."
Fantasising about it doesn't count.

But I will not run. I wouldn't be standing here if I'd quit every time something seemed impossible to overcome.

I will not die today.

Beautiful. F*cking. Asshole.

Even the most effective poisons come in pretty packages, and Xaden's exactly that – as beautiful as he is lethal.

Love, at its root, is hope. Hope for tomorrow. Hope for what could be. Hope that the someone you've entrusted your everything to will cradle and protect it. And hope? That shit is harder to kill than a dragon.

Stop bringing logic into an emotional argument.

"You're my gravity. Nothing in my world works without you."
"Gravity," he whispers, a slow, beautiful smile curving his mouth. "The one force we can never escape."

"I love you," I whisper. "You could throw my entire world into upheaval, and I would still love you. You could keep secrets, run a revolution, frustrate the shit out of me, probably ruin me, and I would still love you. I can't make it stop. I don't want to. You're my gravity. Nothing in my world works without you."

Violence, remember it's only the body that's fragile. You are unbreakable.

The hardest battles – the most meaningful ones – they're fought against ourselves. Against our own fears, our own weaknesses, our own shattered expectations of what we thought this life would be.

Shadows, remember? They hear everything, see everything, conceal everything.

Xaden: "I'm going to keep you. You're mine, Violet."
Violet: "Only if you're mine."
Xaden: "I've been yours for longer than you could ever imagine."

Defenseless women have never been my type.

You want to know why you're still alive? Because you're the scale I currently judge myself against every night. Every day I let you live, I get to convince myself that there's still a part of me that's a decent person. So if you want to quit, then please, spare me the temptation and f*cking quit. But if you want to do something, then do it.

"I'd forgotten what this felt like."
"Being hugged?" My voice was sandpaper-rough.
"Being held together."

Yes, I was capable of immense grief, but I was also capable of infinite love. And I would love my life again. Maybe not today, but one day. Because I wasn't done yet.

We can either breathe through the pain or we can let it shape us.

If you're reading this, well, you know the "last-letter" drill. You made it. I didn't. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there were any chance you could have saved me, you would have.

If I never told you, then let me say it now. Your words saved me. You reached into the darkness and pulled me out with your kindness and your strength. You did the impossible and touched my soul.
